Node.js shortened URL decoder

Posted by TheNetIsDead 3 days ago Technology News
http://feedproxy.google.com — For quite a while I've had Node.js on my list of things to look into as soon as I can. Today I finally messed around with it for the first time. Especially now that HP/Palm's WebOS 2.0 is going to have Node.js for background services I just had to dive into it. Verdict: Awesome. If you know JavaScript you already know Node.js.

Posted by TheNetIsDead 186 days ago Technology News
http://feedproxy.google.com — Over two years after posting this simple JQuery accordion menu and later on an improved JQuery accordion menu I'm still receiving epic amounts of traffic on these posts. New comments keep getting posted every week as well.

That kind of mea Read More
